Resumo: Within the great diversity of regional development programs promoted by the European Union are the cooperation projects and the transnational planning. As the majority of European regional politics, they intend to tackle inequalities in standards of living between the more developed areas of the Community and those situated in weaker areas, socially and economically. The border region defined by the River Douro in its international section (Portuguese and Castilian-Leonese) accumulates a number of these peculiarities. We propose to address in this communication, an eminently geographical perspective, what elements of material and immaterial nature have to be considered in at tourist valorization process, based on cooperation between Portugal and Spain.
